A reminder, for anyone who is interested, that my interview with Ariadne Sawyer of Vancouver Co-Op Radio’s The World Poetry Reading Series will be broadcast this evening, https://kmorrispoet.com/2020/09/18/poet-kevin-morris-interviewed-by-ariadne-sawyer-of-vancouver-co-op-radios-the-world-poetry-reading-series-on-thursday-24th-september-2020/.

During the broadcast I talk about my poetry...

The Autumn Rain

The autumn rain

Comes back again.

But those in the ground

Know not it’s fall

Nor anything at all profound.

Muddy Revisited

“The long summer days” have already turned to Autumn. However, given the current state of things I, once more feel impelled to share this poem.

K Morris - Poet

“Muddy” first appeared here in 2016. Looking at the state of British politics, and the world in general, I feel impelled to share this poem again.

Thoughts muddy

I will forsake

And take

Refuge in my study,

Among poets who speak

Words that endure beyond a week.

I shall sit listening to birdsong.

Betty’s Spaghetti

When a young lady named Betty

Tried to feed me poisoned spaghetti.

I said, “me and Murry

Are off for a curry.

But Betty, please eat your spaghetti!”.

Pearl

A young lady whose name is Pearl

Has a job as a working girl.

I’ve oft seen her writing,

Which is not that exciting.

But she works as a working girl.

I Met A Gazelle

I met a gazelle.

She moved with speed.

Best not dwell

On my need.

Like Prufrock, I grow old.

No point to dwell

On a passing gazelle.

Though, I am sometimes bold

There Once Was A Vampire Named Keith

There once was a vampire named Keith

Who, in a fight lost his teeth

A dentist called Bangs

Gave him false fangs.

But Keith he still missed his teeth!

The Forbidden Garden

A forbidden

Garden, hidden

Behind a wall.

Yet, there are kinks

And chinks

To explore

In many a wall,

For

He who would climb

To reach the divine.

And a wall

May fall.

Revealing the garden, once forbidden

For which he has striven.

But, having reached the divine

And tasted her sweet wine,

How many men,

Having satiated their desire,

Retire,

And plan their next climb?

Mercenary Miss Gale

When a most mercenary young lady known as Gale

Tried her hand at the ancient art of blackmail,

And said, “I have photos of you

With me and that naughty Miss Lou”.

I said, “you are an extremely talented photographer Gale!”.
